Article source: Franco Vella Oficina de Arquitectura An assignment for the architectural design of a new University Campus for the UPC in the district of San Miguel, in a plot located in the intersection of two important avenues within the district, was received.

 Image Courtesy © Franco Vella Oficina de Arquitectura We designed a semi-circular shaped building with a radius of 56.00 meters. The upper part has seven storeys; located in the first floor are the cafeteria and television studio areas, etc. The main entrance is located in the corner formed by the avenues La Marina and Escardó. The building is accessed through a portico that is 12.00 meters wide, controlled through a booth. You immediately enter a great free area consisting of a flat square, with trees, benches, a fountain and a light roof, followed by an inclined plane, covered with artificial turf which leads to the lower part of a gallery of stands that act as the base of building 2.

Continuing with building 2, in the second level we find a big free space with removable divisors for working stations for full time teachers and the diverse career directors. The classrooms and laboratories will be located from the third level onwards. The roof of the last floor, the seventh one, has been designed as a terrace for the student use, with benches, flower boxes and toilets.

The distribution of the space floor is thought as a ring in which centre will be located two courtyards of also rectangular shape, to achieve an adequate interior illumination of the whole space.

The library which has three storeys also occupies part of this floor. Some technical details: Elevators have been designed for connecting floors and stairs to facilitate the movement of users of each building.
